Thanks. HI,

The system allows instant transfer of money between phones, purchases, withdrawals/deposits at ATMs, etc. The same system (developed by a company called Fundamo) is already being used by operators in six other countries. MTN intends to roll it out across all their other African networks next year (they are the second largest operator on the continent.

The failure of MobiPay to get off and running this summer shows that even the networks have a problem with it. However the development of G-Cash shows that when a Network does get it right the benefits are great. Globe telecom have a service that means they are lowering churn, gaining international traffic and also signing up more outlets as possible top up sites. The focus has to be on the micro payments side. It has to be cross network and envolve more than just reverse SMS as the billing mechanism. However security means that few start-ups will be trusted by network operators when it comes to opening up billing systems and hence the crux of the problem is one of security.
